Iconic hotel to be knocked down

Preparations are being made this morning for the demolition of the ruins of the Royal Clarence hotel in Exeter.

 

It's thought the front wall of the building will be brought down tomorrow and contractors, the Wring Group, are on site this morning making their plans.

Around forty fire fighters are still at the scene checking for hot spots and damping down.

There are six pumps in the area, two aerial platforms and the command unit. At the height of the blaze, one hundred and fifty firefighters with thirty pumps and an unprecedented four aerial ladder platforms tackled the blaze

Pipes down to the River Exe at the Quay are still in place....so crews can pump water onto the structure.

Overnight the cordon around the area was partially reduced.....although the High Street and Cathedral Green remain closed....North Street and South Street have reopened.
